Dalmatians 4 Life Project

This project was initiated by Mr Richard-Lee Wilson and Mr. Thomas Hopkins in memory of their Dalmatian “Koochie”. The initial project funds to get pet oxygen mask kits to the Capell and Pope Valley Fire stations stations were raised by Mr Wilson through the sale of his hand crafted cards featuring “Koochie” (see below).

“Koochie” loved to pose for the camera & Firemen! Who knows, maybe she was part of the fire service in her previous life!

The initial goal of the Dalmatians 4 Life Project is to get at least 1 pet oxygen mask kit per station. The project launched Tuesday October 25, 2011 with the sponsorship of 1 pet oxygen mask kit for the Capell Volunteer Station and 1 kit for the Pope Valley Volunteer Station. Seven more stations are looking for sponsorship to accomplish the initial goal.The ultimate goal is to get 1 pet oxygen mask kit per truck. So lets get started!
